Five

He looked at the sky through the open windows, the hum of the breeze, making the night quite relaxing, but his mind was drawn to the previous events, which had happened years back, it felt like yesterday, memories like these are not to be forgotten so easily, memories of loosing your own mate, at your weakest point, these was the most heart shattering memory, the screams still audible in his ears, the cries of his mate, no matter how long she had left these realm, her voice still speaks to him, whispers to his, telling him how forsaken he was, how unrepentant he was, how disheartening he was, but these had marred him more and turned his soul to be darker, more dangerous, more insane, the death of his mate had corrupted his soul, his wolf, the vacuum was there, still in replaceable. 

Jaxon closed his eyes tightly, as he folded his fist, her scream of torment was tearing him apart, and with a swift of his tightened fist, he punched his hands on the wall, causing a big crack to appear on the wall, and again, he punched, reveling his misery to the walls, droplets of blood flowed down his hands, but he never stopped punching the walls, then finally, he fell on his knees, a small whimper escaped his lips, then gradually, it turned to sadness, his heart felt heavy, 

"Why, why are you depressing me so much Azura, I told you am so damn sorry, damn, will you free me from these torment"

He whispered to himself, his voice sounded heavy, the room has the same atmosphere with the emotions that consumes him.

"I promised to protect you, but I failed, and I kept saying sorry every fucking day, am so damn sorry Azura, DAMN!"

He screamed, as he tossed a table on the wall, causing it to fly to the wall as it crashed into pieces, his hands still dripped of blood, which fell on the ground, causing the room to smell of blood. 

"Goddess of the werewolf, the white goddess, free me from these bondage, or you kill me, and let me go meet her, I can't take these shit any more"

Jaxon said, it had been a five hundred and twenty nine years, since he had lost his mate to the northern lords, their identity had been unknown to him, the people who had murdered his mate, in cold blood, had been a mystery, which he has not seem to find out up till these date and he knew His mate wanted revenge, before she would free his soul, his late mate wants him to find her killers, before she stops tormenting him. 

A knock came, resounding on the door, the person not giving him the time to hear a reply from him, his beta came in. The beta Seeing the condition of the alpha, he knew what was wrong, it had been long the alpha started getting crazy, that was how others described the alpha King's condition as.

"Still battling with your misery alpha king, do I need to call the pack doctor" 

Kires asked, he had also been standing on the back door for over an hour, hearing the misery of his king, and he knew he wouldn't dare stepped in to his room at that ungodly time, unless he seeks for his own destruction.

"No, I don't need a pack doctor, I need peace and a rest"

Jaxon said, as he sat on the floor, his eyes gloomy, dark circles hovering beneath his eye lids, evidence of lack of sleep for three days or maybe more.

"But you look distress, and it will not be good for your health, I demand you invite the pack doctor to your cham..."

But a glare from the alpha made him shut his mouth up, Kires saw how the alpha's eyes had darkened, his corruption had not yet started, but he might break loose in a minute and that meant death to any one that came close to him.

"My corruption had not started, I have learnt how to control it, so do not dare make any comment concerning my health, instead, focus on the council members. Their lifestyle needs to be checked more constantly"

Jaxon said, looking at his beta, Kires had been his beta right from the day he was made king, which was also the day his parents had been murdered in cold blood, followed by his mate. He hissed in pain, the pain of loosing a mate was not something he do wish for his enemy, never!

"Did you received any response from Douglas, concerning the lands issue, going on between the two packs"

Jaxon asked his beta, watching as his beta squinted his eyes at him, he noticed as he looked at his fists for a fraction of seconds, which was still covered with blood and was bleeding before he looked up at him.

"Yes, everything had been settled, but they need your presence for the final decision, the two pack had demanded that the lands would be shared equally, or it will be given to the rightful owner, whom they believed, belong to the both packs. The crimson red pack and the moon stone pack are quite a complicated packs, they fight for power, more lands, but thanks to the goddess, there had not been any more killings these recent days after the previous killings between the both pack, they awaits for your final decision and trial over the previous killings in the moon stone pack"

Kires said, the crimson red pack and the moon stone pack had shared a border between each other, but a land had separated them, and recent killings had happening between both packs, especially when a werewolf steps into the land which does not belong to anyone, now the dispute between the two packs has started, when three bodies belonging to the moon stone pack were found in the land, and these had caused an enmity between the two packs, since the red crimson pack was close to the moon stone pack. Now they demand to take the land or they share it equally.

"And what decision is best for the two packs, am I to dethrone the alphas of the two packs from their positions for neglecting their duties and responsibilities or should I punish the entire pack as a whole"

Jaxon asked, as he took a towel, cleaning the blood that dripped out from his wounded hands.

"Should I call the doctor to take care of your injury, it seems to bleed a lot, and it won't be nice to carry a wound to a meeting"

Kires asked, skipping the previous question the alpha had asked him.

"I asked a question and you dared skipped it"

Jaxon asked, his voice sounding firm and threatening, not just threatening but dangerous.

"Am sorry my king, forgive my ill mannered behavior"

Kires said, giving the alpha a bow, he wouldn't dare question the alpha about his current wounds again.

"The wounds would heal, am not a fragile wolf, neither am I human, am a pure blooded werewolf, who had been bitten by a hybrid but had been healed within two minutes, so a simple crack in my hands would not cause my death, so don't behave like a mouse"

Jaxon said, gazing at his beta, the thought of mentioning the name human, sounded like poison on his tongue, he hated those creatures, he has always known them to be weak and irresponsible. Fragile creatures!

"Now back to my question, what should be my decision towards them, these two packs seems to cause me problems, maybe getting rid of them and joining them with another pack would settle their quarrels"

Jaxon said, crossing his arms at his chest, as he placed his hands on his jaw, touching the subtle beards that were beginning to grow back again.

"I think that is not a wise decision, that would bring a breach between more packs, I do advice you succumb to their request, maybe, everything would go back to the way it as been before, accepting their terms of sharing the both lands would make them be united once more"

Kires said, he had the soft side in him, he was chosen as the beta not just because his father had been the previous beta, but because, he compliments with the King's behavior.

"Am a king, I do not succumb to a pack's request so easily, unless, It worth it, since the packs belongs to no one, but me. I will have to take charge over the lands, and I will see, who dare confronts me or try to kill me"

Jaxon said, his eyes glittering with mischief, no one would dare question him over his decision, he is the alpha king, but he wished, someone or one of the alpha challenge him.

"Inform the packs of my arrival, the meeting would be held under the council of the moon stone pack, where it all started, I will arrive in two days time, prepare the ment for our departure"

Jaxon said, not given Kires the time to argue over his decision, he left the room, as he headed to the bath room, to wash off, the maids would have to clean up his room, and he was not ready, to face their disgusting act.
